COLLAR.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent Ifo. 5 29?,5C8, dated February 12, 1884.

Application filed March 22, 1883. (o model.)

To all whom it may concern,.-

Be it known that I, KossU'rH PERPENTE, of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Collar, of which the following is a specification.

`Figure 1 represents a face View of my im- Fig. 2 is a cross-section of the same on theline c c, Fig. 1. Figs. 8 and tare face views of modiicationsof the collar.

This invention relates to an improved standing or other collar, which is so constructed as to overcome the annoyance and difficulty necessitated to pin or otherwise fasten the necktie, scarf, or other neck-dressing to the collar, to prevent the same from rising above its proper position or getting into other undesirable 'shapes The invention consists in making the collar out of two or more overlapping pieces, by

means of which retaining sections or locks are produced for holding the tie in place.

In the drawings, the letter A represents the upper portion of the` collar, and B,Fig. 1, the lower portion. The upper portion laps over the lower portion at the ends a a., Fig. 1, and at the center, b, and is stitched to the lower portion, where it overlaps it. Between the lines of stitches a and b, where the two sec# tions of collar are joined together, they are so formed that on the upper part, A, downwardly-proj ecting sections cl enter into recesses e of the lower part, B. In using the collar these projections dwill serve to hold the necktie or other neck attachment in its proper position, preventing it from slipping or losing its place. l

In Fig..3 is shown a modication of the in` vention, in that the lines of stitches b are vertical, instead of being substantially horizontal, as in Fig. 1, the lower part, B, being in this case made in two pieces.

In Fig. 4 a still other modification is shown, in which the line of stitches c is more or less vertical, so as to leave the end button-holes, e, in the top part, A, of the collar, instead of in the bottom part, B, as in Fig. 1; In either case the lower section, B, of the collar being stitched to the upper portion, A, by the two series of stitches c b, the sections` cl and recesses e, for retaining the tiein place, are produced for practical use. a vIt would not be practicable, in a linen collar particularly, to cut out the projecting sections d without binding them in some manner, which would be very costly and difcult to do, but which is an easy mat-ter to perform before the two parts A and B are joined together; hence the importance of making the collar oi' the two separate parts.

I do not claim cutting retaining-sections out of a collar that ismade in one single piece.

.I claim" 1. A collar composed of an upper part, A, and of a separate lower part, B, which is overlapped by said part A, the two parts being connected where they overlap by the series of 'Kossu'rn PERPENTE.
